GymLift is a strength-training log that plans today's session for you: weights, sets and rest are set from your recovery, and every change comes with the reason why. Log like a pro. Every set with previous values on the row, a rest timer that keeps running between screens, supersets, warm-ups, timed sets, custom exercises and a full exercise library with video demonstrations and substitutions. Start from an empty workout or a routine, your call. Know your day. A 30-second check-in each morning plus your Apple Health sleep, resting heart rate and HRV become one readiness score against your own baseline. Bands from High to Recovery say what kind of day it is. A plan that adapts. Built for your goal, days and equipment, then adjusted every day: lighter loads on a rough night, an extra set when you are fresh, a recovery session when your body asks for one. Every change shows its reason, and "Keep original" is always one tap away. Apple Watch, both ways. Start on either device and the other mirrors it: sets, rest, heart rate. Leave the phone at home: the watch runs the whole session on its own and syncs later. Live Activity keeps the rest timer and the next set on the lock screen. Your history, your data. Import the CSV from your previous tracker in a minute and keep every previous value and record from day one. Export everything as CSV whenever you like. Health data stays on your device and in your iCloud. Free forever: the logger, your plan, the readiness score, history, Apple Watch, import and export. Pro adds the daily adaptation with its reasons, readiness trends and calibration, and a plain-language reason for every change. GymLift is a training tool, not health advice. If pain persists, see a specialist. Terms of Use: https://gymlift.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://gymlift.app/privacy
